The No Proscenium Podcast

Episode 156 - Sean Stewart & The Birth of the ARG

Once upon a time Sean Stewart was a science fiction novelist.
Then, one day, he got a call asking if he wanted to take part in a
little world-building project. One based around a Steven Spielberg
movie.

That movie was A.I. and that project would become known as "The
Beast," the first Alternate Reality Game. Now Sean works for Magic
Leap, the secretive company in Florida that is working on augmented
reality. But we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk
about making participatory stories.

Sean plays Jedi Master to Noah's padawan learner. This is a
very, very good episode.
